(Meanwhile, FIU, UM and UF did- Huh!? ) Besides....FIU= Best Law School in the state right now. They had the highest passing rate on last year's Bar. The longest I have had in WDW is 3 days, and that was on a band trip. I'm sure it would be fun to actually STAY there for a while... Plans for the future involve DL, though....I would rather stay and go over there for a few days, 3000 miles away rather than 300.

But maybe that's just me because I live 5 min. away from DLR, but every time I would take WDW in a heartbeat over it. I make a good amount of money here, but I've considered trading it all in to go work over there.. Many, many times..

Originally Posted By grlweatswchpstx True, but between all the parks, World Showcase beats most of what's out there for me. Also, the Animal Kingdom is gorgeous and takes 2nd place to me.

If she thought WDW was tiring, the Calif trip should be exhausting.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Well true, the Zoo can take 90 minutes to get to, but using WDW buses felt like to us too ;-) Seriously, there is more commuting in California, but watching the Pacific Ocean and the mountains travelling down is part of the fun.
Originally Posted By grlweatswchpstx I grew up on the San Diego Zoo (lived in SD before moving up here) and the Animal Kingdom is a completely different experience. I don't know that its even appropriate to compare the two. My favorite is really the detail in Asia and Africa, I just think they're both gorgeously represented areas. Yes there are zoo-areas in the Animal Kingdom, but I just have difficulty comparing them.

Originally Posted By grlweatswchpstx Really? To each his own I guess. I find the 'wow' factor every time I step off the bus there.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Funny, I feel at the mo that SDZ has a more wow factor in the animal stakes. The non animal attractions at DAK are mainly mehs except Expedition Everest, which only 50% of the effects now work. And the non Animal shows suck. Yep, it's pretty to look at, no doubt, but not enough for me. Though the Tree of Life is awesome. California already has ITTBAB and Grizzly is better than Kali.
